Given the urgency of this issue, Onassis Stegi’s “Society Uncensored 02” series presents an edition on femicide proffering experiences and testimonials, presenting qualitative and quantitative data from Greece and other countries, documenting the inadequacies and poor practices of gendered violence response mechanisms, shedding light on the intersectionality of the issue, analyzing the structural causes and escalations of abuse, and underlining the role to be played by society and the state when it comes to combatting and preventing femicide.
With the aid of audio-visual materials, data gathered from international stakeholders (Le Monde, the European Observatory on Femicide), and information graphics, the participants share knowledge and viewpoints drawn from the realms of science, feminism, field intervention, and embodied experience, that also carry the charge of collective trauma and the dream of transformation, so that we might all feel safe and free.
